Los Gallos — Restaurant in Higüey

What a great meal! Let’s start with the great stuff first.

The tequila guy with the cart! Don Julio añejo? Yes please. The regular margarita tasted like it was from a mix and not fresh. Hard to complain when it’s complimentary. The mango one was better due to the good mango in there.

The guacamole was a lighter green than what I’ve gotten in the US but it was good. The pico de Gallo was off the chart excellent. Very fresh and perfectly seasoned. The chips were good. Medium texture dry and crisp.

The wheat tortillas are flour and they were excellent. The first appetizer was either beef quesadillas or soft wheat tacos. Either was it was very very good. The queso or fundido was also excellent. That cheese had the best pull I’ve seen. I didn’t try the taquitos.

All of the ceviches I had were EXCELLENT! Very fresh, chilled, and perfectly seasoned.

The soup was very good also. Kind of a bean purée.

The salmon with the grilled onion on top was overcooked for my liking and had several bones.

The shrimp tacos were excellent!

The chicken fajitas were very good.

The churros were very good.

I would have liked something thicker than plain milk at the bottom of the tres leches cake, but the cake was excellent!

The chef’s selection desert was ice cream which was excellent, cheese cake squares which were standard fare, rice pudding which was great I just personally don’t care for it, but the handmade caramel pop corn was OUTSTANDING!

The service was first class !

Outstanding food and restaurants. The golf course was outstanding as well. I play pretty often (2-3 times a week) and this is one of the best courses I've played. Challenging for intermediate players but if you tend to slice you're gonna lose a lot of balls. Bermuda grass it was unbelievable. Overall a...

We went to breakfast here today and we waited over an hour and a half for our food . People that came after us got their food and left before they even took our order . We asked to order after an hour wait and then waited almost another hour for our food (which was cold ). The couple next to us ordered their food the same time as us and ate their entire meal and left before we even got our food , it was super disappointing :( they never refilled our drinks or anything . It’s like they forgot we...
